@Ryan Robertsdoesnt each bill have its own UV light signature? Like you cant just turn a 1 dollar bill into a 100 bill, you will eventually get found out
At the start I was also pissed that they weren't wearing protective gear. I've watched enough of the styropyro to make me want to wear goggles even if the laser isn't very strong
@The Things You sound like a person that wouldn't warn a blind person that is heading into red light, just because his death isn't your problem. I don't think it's a healthy attitude, but I won't say it doesn't work for you. I think caring about such basic stuff is needed, one day someone will care about you.
Ye, some people don't realize that risking a chance of setting your eyeballs on fire can be a bigger deal than chance of setting your house on fire (atleast when it's just your house). I don't know how well can this type of laser reflect off regular metals that it is supposed to be used on, but I suspect some shiny or glass object can send a stray ray into yer face and ruin the retina in microseconds.
I'm an arborist, and one day, I hope there will be a light saber invented. That would be my favorite tool to use in a tree company. From tree to slabs in minutes ❤ Meanwhile, planting some trees along the way.
I'm also an arborist. I was thinking the same thing. Computerized lazers that make face cuts with no Dutchmen, then use AI to predict with 95% accuracy the exact location where the tree will fall! Or, better yet, no more needing to climb trees to cut off dead limbs. Just stand on the ground and cut them off with the lazer!
@darugdawg I'll bet your right. The farther away it gets way more inefficient the laser is and the energy involved is quite a lot. Energy is energy and it depends on if you want to use yours and eat more food to compensate which uses energy on the whole processing of food infrastructure or use the energy of the laser which uses the energy the power plants consume.
Weapons? Buddy, with what he just did with that dollar bill, I mean this with all seriousness, he's legitimately a threat to national security now. I seriously am worried the FBI is going to call him for this.
My main takeaway from this is that blasters from Star Wars can be real. And that Stormtrooper helmets probably had welding goggle lenses installed haha. How many of these would you need to combine to make a Death Star?
This was epic Kevin. I'd love to see a tear down of the laser. What type of juicy HV we talking about here? Also - that plasma speaker at the end is just delicious.
I've been waiting a while too, couldn't afford one. But now I have more questions. Laser dishwasher, laser toast/steaks and most importantly, can you laser clean a toilet? Is it legal to erase the faces of money and print your own on it? and more importantly, could you still legally pay with it? Basically it is real money?! Damn, I need one of those.
You should do a test to see how much protection safety glasses actually bring. I guess, they are not there to make you stare into a laser but just to prevent the worst if there is some split second reflection from an object you use the laser on.
Amazing content! I've been watching your stuff for years and I've gotta say, you've always been a source of inspiration for me to continue my STEM-related passions. Thank you so much for all you do 😁👏
Man this is perfect! I was starting to think my chainsaw was becoming too harmless. Now I can burn, cut, and clean with the same tool while still looking like a chainsaw!
I trinken after the money thing he wont't be posting any videos any time soon. That was a really bad idea. Using that laser in open space is also a bad idea. To be honest he was an absolute asshole for doing it.
We use fiber optics lasers to cut thing gauge sheet metals at work. A laser can give a tremendously clean cut, if you flood the cutting area with a a gas like Nitrogen. Most industrial laser cutters will flood the cut with either oxygen to increase cut speed, or Nitrogen to increase cut quality. Would be interesting to see just how much of a difference the gas really makes, just a suggestion for a future idea.
Actually a fun and cool fact when it comes to laser welding with these machines: you can have as attachment under the pistol a wire coil of filler metal of any type of metals following what you're welding, that act like a hybrid Mig and Tig welder. For thin metal welding, like, under 10mm, it's so clean with stainless steel that I see to reasons anymore to use a TIG welder, except in case of really large gap when you have to tack for initial assembly ^^
When the plane passes overhead and he looks up, you can *almost* feel his thoughts... "I wonder if i can remove the livery off the side of that plane with the laser" :D
I love the hesitation before you just turn it on it’s exactly what I would do in your situation situation because lasers are too awesome for any warnings to contain it
Thank you for advertising the safety third podcast, I was never quite sure what it was and didn't have enough time or curiosity to check it out. Now I think I might try to make some time to do that!
Hey good on you for emphasizing the importance of proper PPE. I remember in Physics 2 a professor told us a story about a Yag laser blinding a technician. He had moved his safety glasses up for a better look at what he was working on, dropped a wrench into the beam, and it instantly blinded him in one eye. All within a second. Lasers are legitimately terrifying.
@Chance Morine arc flash is terrible. I used to be a welder and have dealt with minor flash a few times but major flash a single time and it was INCREDIBLY painful. It literally feels like someone is pouring burning sand into your eyes and theres nothing you can do about it other than flushing and waiting it out.
@nobody nowhere I'm not sure that boiling the vitreous humor in the eye won't cause blindness. Your eye might even explode as things inside it expand. So I'd certainly use safety glasses specially when you can't see the beam. I already have an astigmatism but I can still see.
@Some guy on the internet A guess that since there's no recoil a lot of people don't seem to understand how dangerous it is. A powerful enough laser can shoot down a missile. It can certainly burn a hole through your retina. I'd argue that safety training should be required to use laser equipment that is rated above class 2.
Loved the video. Thought, I was nervous that someone would wonder out from the house, and get hit by a stray reflection (melted aluminum is very reflective). Note that most laser eye damage is undetectable by the person. Your brain fixes the "holes" in the iimage, so blind spots are difficult to detect.... that is, unless you want to see each decimal place on your spreadsheet.
Um, for someone who has worked in places like the federal reserve, one of the biggest counterfeits we see in the industry is people "washing" ink off smaller bills and printing the larger bills on them. They are usually really bad because its not easy to get the ink off, and they scrub so the texture is off. You just showed them how to do it better lol. One of the biggest challenges in counterfeiting is the paper
I think your 2000W (Solar) square area is about 2X larger than it should be. 2 square meters (or yards) would be close to or over 2000W Solar, depending on time of the year, time of day, latitude, and clouds.
Honestly with a tool like this, that will surely be weponized soon (if not already) safety is EXTREMELY important here, this thing has some SERIOUS harm capabilities and I really think an EXPLICIT warning before the video "do NOT try this at home" always goes without saying, but should NEVER go unsaid regardless, especially when you (temporarily) removed the emergency stop button cap Keep up the good work! But remember safety 3rd is only acceptable as a joke! Haha nothing other than 1st, unless as a joke (which we know because safety first is also said when handling dangerous equipment)
I wonder, what is the maximum distance this laser can penetrate one of the aluminum cans he pierced holes in? It might give some interesting perspective on the lasers the military carries on ships to take out missiles.
I dunno if its a recurring joke on this channel but I love that the "Shake Hands With Danger" song exists outside of niche safety videos from the 70s now. It slaps too hard to be kept in the past!
Lazer welding is the strongest most penetrating welding process, I've never worked with it but I'm a welder and I know when a process is superior. It's the the penetration of a plasma cutter with unparalleled precision arc characteristic modulation. It's crazy stuff. Basically a mix of lazer 3d printing and welding.
The actual "paper" that money is printed on is almost impossible to recreate and unprinted it's extremely valuable, there's been cases in the past of people taking lower denomination bills, stripping them, and then reprinting them as higher value bills so I wouldn't be surprised if Secret Service came knocking lol.
@Conor Stewart well best believe the counterfeiters knew about this before this dude did, I almost guarantee it lol. I was more or less making a joke - I don’t really think they would come knocking, but then again I would not be shocked if they did
@Darryl Pioch at 2000watts that thing has enough power to cut right through steel plate like butter. The only saving grace is the focusing lens makes them beam divergent. all 2000watts focused at even a point the size of a dime would cut right through you.
@Jons LG secret service goes after anything money related.... I think that's what he was referring to. He does have a dog though I think, so he should worry about the ATF as well.
Kevin, can the laser be used to remove paint from wood? I have to strip 60 kitchen type cabinets with lots of detailed trim, so I'm looking for a fast and easy way to do it.... sandblasting is the leader for now.
If I had one of these, I hope I would have a lot of fun before going blind. Growing up on a farm, I always wished for a magical way to clean up rusty equipment. This is pretty much it.
It's surprising you can buy something like this. I'm wondering if dangerous things over a certain price aren't regulated much just because there aren't many people, who can and will spend lots of money on them for no particular purpose
Oh boy, I've never been so glad to be awake at midnight! Kevin: these laser heads cost a thousand dollars to replace so you have to be careful with them. Also Kevin: *attaches laser to chainsaw* Now that's the backdoor scientist we all know and love!
There's an iron pole in India that never rusts and I read that part of the composition was chlorine. Was wondering what properties a steel mixed with powdered chlorine would be, and steel and borax, and steel and chlorine and borax would be in blade form.
This man using lasers for destructive purposes makes me truly believe that we're living in the goddamn future. Also, playing Bad Apple at the end caught me so off guard.
I’m amazed that a laser that powerful is permitted to just be wielded freehand instead of being part of a machine like a traditional laser cutter or something like that
from sunlight and a microscope to a laser chainsaw 🤯
Omg it's youtube
Hello KZclip
Cringe. Fire your PR department in charge of making meaningless comments and reallocate those funds to actually fixing the site...
*magnifying glass
chainsaw
There isn’t a single three letter organization that doesn’t have this man on a watchlist
The damn glowies
@Ryan Robertsdoesnt each bill have its own UV light signature? Like you cant just turn a 1 dollar bill into a 100 bill, you will eventually get found out
Hell there was one for sure that paid him a visit! (fyi it was the fbi)
Let’s not forget The BBBBB…..
First one to guess what it stands for is the winner……. 🌊
Scp
I love practical lasers. That's insane!
Also the Bad Apple at the end was lovely.
part of me wants the Bad Apple oscilloscope thing to be its own video XD
sudden Touhou vibe
He should recreate bad apple using the laser.
:D
Practical lasers 🤣
Ineed Bad apple was a nice touch
This man is on so many watchlists it’s like he’s collecting them like medals
Lol
You should double the laser wavelength with a nonlinear crystal, like green laser pointers do, a 2000w green laser would be amazing
At the start I was also pissed that they weren't wearing protective gear. I've watched enough of the styropyro to make me want to wear goggles even if the laser isn't very strong
*keychain lazer"
PROTECTION FOR YOUR GODDAMN EYEBALLS
@The Things You sound like a person that wouldn't warn a blind person that is heading into red light, just because his death isn't your problem. I don't think it's a healthy attitude, but I won't say it doesn't work for you. I think caring about such basic stuff is needed, one day someone will care about you.
@Noctua MC hes even wearing a safety third shirt :O
@The Things he dies -> no more videos -> sad
Never thought we would go from simple sunlight to Super Advanced Laser Chainsaws. Wow!
“Florida Man accidentally cuts an entire forest down with a doomsday laser” is my new favorite news headline
Change the word "cuts" with "burns" and that's not a far cry from reality.
Florida man erases debt.
@Amira Lozse before I use be live Florida.
@Чайный Чаёк hope not real cancer 😂🤔😁
And discovers tree cancer
The taking the safety glasses off to just reveal more safety glasses was a great touch
It's a cliché.
The glasses underneath glasses is a joke from the movie "Airplane!"
@Ray L that's a good question
How many layers of safety goggles would it take to give the same 1/100th of a second protection of a brick?
I'm your 100th liker here & bye.
Thank you for actually addressing the safety concerns in this video! It really goes a long way to show that you care!
Safety is always first
a lot of people don't pay attention to the fact that looking at the spot on a wall can blind you a billion gazillion times faster than you can blink
Ye, some people don't realize that risking a chance of setting your eyeballs on fire can be a bigger deal than chance of setting your house on fire (atleast when it's just your house). I don't know how well can this type of laser reflect off regular metals that it is supposed to be used on, but I suspect some shiny or glass object can send a stray ray into yer face and ruin the retina in microseconds.
I like how he carries on smiling, when one mistake could kill him.
I'm an arborist, and one day, I hope there will be a light saber invented. That would be my favorite tool to use in a tree company. From tree to slabs in minutes ❤ Meanwhile, planting some trees along the way.
I'm also an arborist. I was thinking the same thing. Computerized lazers that make face cuts with no Dutchmen, then use AI to predict with 95% accuracy the exact location where the tree will fall! Or, better yet, no more needing to climb trees to cut off dead limbs. Just stand on the ground and cut them off with the lazer!
What
@darugdawg I'll bet your right. The farther away it gets way more inefficient the laser is and the energy involved is quite a lot. Energy is energy and it depends on if you want to use yours and eat more food to compensate which uses energy on the whole processing of food infrastructure or use the energy of the laser which uses the energy the power plants consume.
its not very efficient. from price to epectricity bills
I so want to try to trim branches with one of these and be able to just stand on the ground and not have to mess around with a ladder.
I forgot it even said chainsaw in the title. It's just a laser video. Haha. Keep up the great content
Kevin has gone from basic chemistry to making actual weapons. Quite the legend
@GummySatan2 It took me longer than I can describe to notice the s...
@Alex 5432wtf is chesmistry?
Weapons? Buddy, with what he just did with that dollar bill, I mean this with all seriousness, he's legitimately a threat to national security now. I seriously am worried the FBI is going to call him for this.
@Kol Vann Yes, a sniper hauling a giant box on wheels won't attract any attention, especially when he asks if there's anywhere he can plug it in. 😁
This is how we get remote controlled lasertanks.
My main takeaway from this is that blasters from Star Wars can be real. And that Stormtrooper helmets probably had welding goggle lenses installed haha. How many of these would you need to combine to make a Death Star?
@darugdawg Think more like the energy of 10k-20k of the most powerful nukes ever built
you need to invent a new power source comparable to a mini nuke in order for that to work
@Radagast Nope, it would need to be quite larger than jupiter, and only slightly smaller than the sun.
The blaster bolts only went around 40 mph Becky magnitudes below c.
@Julia Vixen Dang, so it would need to be the size of a moon. George Lucas really did his homework lol
I nearly spit out my cereal when I heard that really quiet "shake hands with danger" riff. What a legend lmao
Hilarious 😂 😃
@Miksterias "Well there's your problem" also uses it with their viewer story segment about workplace mishaps.
what cereal where you eating?
I’m surprised there’s anyone commenting on that! It’s SO old lol
Damn.. I want one of those super lasers. Can you teach us how to make a small, cheap version of it?
This was epic Kevin. I'd love to see a tear down of the laser. What type of juicy HV we talking about here? Also - that plasma speaker at the end is just delicious.
Man I wish I could afford one of those! I can see these being priceless in a body repair shop!
I've been waiting way too long for someone to screw around on camera with one of these things. I just wanted to see stuff burn up, and you delivered.
@TheDuckMan2523 sure @styropyro does spectacular things with lasers etc. but ladder he has none of these things yet.
There’s a KZclip channel called styropyro, I think you’d like them,
MORE FRIGGEN LAZERS!
I've been waiting a while too, couldn't afford one.
But now I have more questions.
Laser dishwasher, laser toast/steaks and most importantly, can you laser clean a toilet?
Is it legal to erase the faces of money and print your own on it? and more importantly, could you still legally pay with it? Basically it is real money?!
Damn, I need one of those.
You should do a test to see how much protection safety glasses actually bring. I guess, they are not there to make you stare into a laser but just to prevent the worst if there is some split second reflection from an object you use the laser on.
Styropyro did it, unprotected lenses die instantly but protected lenses can have the laser pointed at em
Perhaps a fragment beam mirror? Could do tests based on duration, %reflected, and more
In all honesty, honey is actually pretty good. Glad to see them sponsoring awesome youtubers
First experience with this channel...I like the vibe👊😎, subscribed 🤙
Amazing content! I've been watching your stuff for years and I've gotta say, you've always been a source of inspiration for me to continue my STEM-related passions. Thank you so much for all you do 😁👏
It takes a lot for me to get horrified, and the zapping of the currency made all my alarms go off. I hope all is well for him, legally speaking.
Man this is perfect! I was starting to think my chainsaw was becoming too harmless. Now I can burn, cut, and clean with the same tool while still looking like a chainsaw!
and loose one or both retinas .
@Jons LG you should definitely re-watch old videos this guy is hilarious
Eye see what you did there.
Blind people? Don’t be cornea. I’m sure he’ll set up rods and cones when he works. Iris I had one of those.
And you can blind people!!!
Make many, many, many more videos with this device. This whole project is a braingasm! Holy sh*t, am I excited to see what you do with this!
I trinken after the money thing he wont't be posting any videos any time soon. That was a really bad idea. Using that laser in open space is also a bad idea. To be honest he was an absolute asshole for doing it.
@TheBackyardScientist011 Eff off, Rusbot.
Been waiting soooo long for someone to get a high powered fiber laser and screw around. Please do this more.
It’s very reassuring to see you using the full face mask. People don’t respect these tools enough, basic eye googles wont stop 2kw.
Dude, your videos are always top-notch. The science and the way you present it are always entertaining and informative.
I'm impressed that this guy is still alive. I like the "probably shouldn't do this but doing it anyway" attitude 👍
You can't just put that bad apple in the end and not tell us more! Excellent video as always!
Rule 86 of the internet: If it exists, Bad Apple!! can be played on it. No exceptions.
2HU HIJA-
As always, if a medium to play music and video exists, Bad Apple will be played on it.... somehow...
Leave it in Styro Pyro's Hands,
What could possible go wrong
the best laser ever...
We use fiber optics lasers to cut thing gauge sheet metals at work.
A laser can give a tremendously clean cut, if you flood the cutting area with a a gas like Nitrogen.
Most industrial laser cutters will flood the cut with either oxygen to increase cut speed, or Nitrogen to increase cut quality.

For thin metal welding, like, under 10mm, it's so clean with stainless steel that I see to reasons anymore to use a TIG welder, except in case of really large gap when you have to tack for initial assembly ^^
Is it perhaps possible to make it thicker, shorter and more compact
When the plane passes overhead and he looks up, you can *almost* feel his thoughts... "I wonder if i can remove the livery off the side of that plane with the laser" :D
did you make the tree depreinter just for the pun? Or did you forget there is literally a line mode that does the same thing faster with the mirrors?
I love the hesitation before you just turn it on it’s exactly what I would do in your situation situation because lasers are too awesome for any warnings to contain it
Seriously thought lasers fricking rock
I'd just assumed you were gonna vaporize the sawdust from the chainsaw as it cut but I guess that works
okay honestly i did not see it comming that it would cut down that tree so fast, like i was like okay here comes the 4 hour time-lapse at least.
Thank you for advertising the safety third podcast, I was never quite sure what it was and didn't have enough time or curiosity to check it out. Now I think I might try to make some time to do that!
would love to have one of these for automotive restoration!
Hey good on you for emphasizing the importance of proper PPE. I remember in Physics 2 a professor told us a story about a Yag laser blinding a technician.

It literally feels like someone is pouring burning sand into your eyes and theres nothing you can do about it other than flushing and waiting it out.
@TheBackyardScientist lol
@TheBackyardScientist u understand why we have the "prime directive " right?
@nobody nowhere I'm not sure that boiling the vitreous humor in the eye won't cause blindness. Your eye might even explode as things inside it expand.
So I'd certainly use safety glasses specially when you can't see the beam.
I already have an astigmatism but I can still see.
@Some guy on the internet A guess that since there's no recoil a lot of people don't seem to understand how dangerous it is. A powerful enough laser can shoot down a missile. It can certainly burn a hole through your retina.
I'd argue that safety training should be required to use laser equipment that is rated above class 2.
Loved the video. Thought, I was nervous that someone would wonder out from the house, and get hit by a stray reflection (melted aluminum is very reflective). Note that most laser eye damage is undetectable by the person. Your brain fixes the "holes" in the iimage, so blind spots are difficult to detect.... that is, unless you want to see each decimal place on your spreadsheet.
"Haters will say Laser welding isn't as good as normal welding."
That is single-handedly the coolest thing I've ever heard in any KZclip video 😆 👍
7:55 He was probably one of the first people ever to kill a spider with a lazer gun
I need more videos on this. This is awesome.
I think I would really like to use one of these. It's like power washing but with metal.
Um, for someone who has worked in places like the federal reserve, one of the biggest counterfeits we see in the industry is people "washing" ink off smaller bills and printing the larger bills on them. They are usually really bad because its not easy to get the ink off, and they scrub so the texture is off. You just showed them how to do it better lol. One of the biggest challenges in counterfeiting is the paper
@G.A.Krueger there is still a lot of counterfeit. It's just usually the cheap, copy paper kind.
@William Kyle Different sized bills also helps the visually impaired use money
@Nikoraasu and if the counterfeiting doesn't work out, you can still make money by switching to a legal laser removal business. Win/win!
I think they already figure it out long ago, even before he bought the laser.
"Um" 🤓
Omfg, that was epic. One hell of a good video. You made my weekend for sure!
It really amazed at the amount of people not using eye protection like its not just a laser its intensly focused
I think your 2000W (Solar) square area is about 2X larger than it should be. 2 square meters (or yards) would be close to or over 2000W Solar, depending on time of the year, time of day, latitude, and clouds.
Wow! that is impresive! Thank you for the great work in putting this video!
Honestly with a tool like this, that will surely be weponized soon (if not already) safety is EXTREMELY important here, this thing has some SERIOUS harm capabilities and I really think an EXPLICIT warning before the video
"do NOT try this at home" always goes without saying, but should NEVER go unsaid regardless, especially when you (temporarily) removed the emergency stop button cap
Keep up the good work! But remember safety 3rd is only acceptable as a joke! Haha nothing other than 1st, unless as a joke (which we know because safety first is also said when handling dangerous equipment)
You are now #1 on my list of people I'm actually scared of now. Congrats!
@TAC oh
@DwergMeneer what about it
I’m interested to see if this works with bulletproof or archival ink!
Still kinda hard to believe just how powerful this machine is, but that Bad Apple at the end made me chuckle
I wonder, what is the maximum distance this laser can penetrate one of the aluminum cans he pierced holes in? It might give some interesting perspective on the lasers the military carries on ships to take out missiles.
I dunno if its a recurring joke on this channel but I love that the "Shake Hands With Danger" song exists outside of niche safety videos from the 70s now. It slaps too hard to be kept in the past!

@Canaan Hagemeister are you gullible enough to believe any of the "counterfeit tactics" that commenters are saying here? LMAO
@Aaron: Where did you get that bizarre internet idea that the phone book & U.S. currency are the same paper?
@Conor Stewart well best believe the counterfeiters knew about this before this dude did, I almost guarantee it lol. I was more or less making a joke - I don’t really think they would come knocking, but then again I would not be shocked if they did
@A Nother *no, not on. :P
@GetTheFOutOfMyWay laser* it's an acronym, futsy US spelling doesn't change that
Great video! Would love to see Bad Apple in its entirety on the setup you have at the end!
I love that William ozman is a super fan of this man and now is on a podcast with him
So if we make a big piece of focus glass that size it will equal the power of that laser? Is there a mathematic Equation for this
I watched some safety third when it just started but you guys are going crazy!
When the lasers takes 3 sec to cut down a tree, and becomes lighter, you can use them in forestry
I want styropyro's thoughts on this thing now. or for him to come down there and overclock it / beef it up.
You should actually try to cut down a 4ft tree
we need the pyro quickly!
no, just no
@Tslim At least it would cauterize the wound as it goes...
@Darryl Pioch at 2000watts that thing has enough power to cut right through steel plate like butter. The only saving grace is the focusing lens makes them beam divergent. all 2000watts focused at even a point the size of a dime would cut right through you.
Love this channel so much. That subtle SpongeBob joke at the end was the cherry on top of a pure gold video😂🙌🏻
what does Bad Apple have to do with SpongeBob?
that laser is literally insane. It blew away my expectations. Imagine what the military has.
pretty sure their laser can blow your mind, from space
@Bruce Mastiff lol good luck Chatgpt can't even answer that one.
It's someone with XX chromosomes
We had a couple lasers at a place I worked. I used a 10kw fiber optic laser that could cut through three inches of steel like nothing.
@JUPIT3R what is a woman?
That fact that this can be bought by anyone is absolutely astounding.
I think it's a great tool to clean his own workspace too
thats by far the craziest, most epic and simply the best laser video i came across ever!!
well done mate, well done!
I am so glad the secret service still lets you make videos. I sure do enjoy them!
you know what? the thing that he does with the bill is kind of classified...
@Jons LG secret service goes after anything money related.... I think that's what he was referring to. He does have a dog though I think, so he should worry about the ATF as well.
The ATF just hasn't figured out how to classify this as a firearm yet.
Once they do.. it'll be limited to the point that it's worthless lol
In the event of a world War, Kevin is their greatest asset. That's why they are cool with him
I mean... When Will asked for ideas to trim his trees I didn't think you'd have the answer that quickly
Video should have been longer! Your stuff is the best!
Kevin, can the laser be used to remove paint from wood? I have to strip 60 kitchen type cabinets with lots of detailed trim, so I'm looking for a fast and easy way to do it.... sandblasting is the leader for now.
It would burn the cabinets like crazy.
If I had one of these, I hope I would have a lot of fun before going blind. Growing up on a farm, I always wished for a magical way to clean up rusty equipment. This is pretty much it.
It's surprising you can buy something like this.
I'm wondering if dangerous things over a certain price aren't regulated much just because there aren't many people, who can and will spend lots of money on them for no particular purpose
Oh boy, I've never been so glad to be awake at midnight!
Kevin: these laser heads cost a thousand dollars to replace so you have to be careful with them.
Also Kevin: *attaches laser to chainsaw*
Now that's the backdoor scientist we all know and love!
also burns dollar
@Sherwin If you think that's funny I would highly recommend that you check out the safety third podcast, that's where I got it from!
Scrapman: you dare oppose me mortal
The spec of dust thing is actually true too lol, that spec will heat up in a microsecond and burn the lense
lmao backdoor scientist
I never considered how fiber optic could one day become weapons grade.
I love these videos, never stop bro
There's an iron pole in India that never rusts and I read that part of the composition was chlorine. Was wondering what properties a steel mixed with powdered chlorine would be, and steel and borax, and steel and chlorine and borax would be in blade form.
I aspire to be this man when I grow up
Which is more fun for you on tree trimming? There are chainsaw, laser, flamethrower, vibrating blade, explosive, gun, jackhammer
This man using lasers for destructive purposes makes me truly believe that we're living in the goddamn future.
Also, playing Bad Apple at the end caught me so off guard.
same here but it was cool, I like his style hahaha

Now time to make it into a lasgun like those in WH 40k
I’m amazed that a laser that powerful is permitted to just be wielded freehand instead of being part of a machine like a traditional laser cutter or something like that
"The Tree De-Printer" is my new favorite pun of this entire year!
I need a full video of Bad Apple vintage oscilloscope version
It's been done before, but I do want a Backyard Scientist version
Awesome video! Which laser power you've got? There are 3 options...
I love that in those Chinese videos they are using the insane lasers without safety glasses 😂

man, i love the innovative steps towards making plasma cutters from dead space
the fact that you hit us with the oscilloscope bad apple at the end...

Love your work 🥰
